Amazing Songwriting is Amazing

Here's a quick post to pay homage to one of my favorite artists, who also happens to be a big influence for me when it comes to musical style and songwriting.  

The Decemberists new Album, The King is Dead is absolutely fantastic.  They have left the prog-rock-ishness of The Crane Wife and The Hazards of Love behind, and left us with 10 songs.  Americana meets the Decemberists. My favorite track on the album has to be the last one. Dear Avery is haunting and wistful, and is best enjoyed when you decide to start the whole album over again after it's finished.

In The Studio!

Here's a little Christmas Surprise- I'm working with friend and neighbor Sam Johnson in a slick little recording studio in the South Burlington Arts District.

I tracked a new tune last night, tentatively called "Get This Going". We're also planning to tackle "Phantom Compositions", an older tune of mine that's never found its home in a recording.

As always, make sure to sign up to receive free mp3's of these new songs when they're available.

Until next time..

Ethan Waldman's Space


Like an acoustic version of Radiohead collaborating with John Lennon.

Ethan Waldman plays an eclectic blend of folk and rock, with a touch of the psychedelic 60's, the luscious sounds of stringed instruments, and a classic songwriting style.
